Gift exchange?

Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, Zhao Liehu was momentarily stunned.

"What kind of gift do you want?"

Zhao Liehu took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you 100 Mid Grade Spirit Stones to congratulate you on your joyous wedding. Is that acceptable?"

"Hahaha, do you really think that as the Sect Leader of the Qilin Mountain Sect, I'd be lacking this bit of Spirit Stones from you?"

With Qin Tian's words, Zhao Liehu was left dumbfounded, just as he was about to ask what exactly Qin Tian wanted, he heard Qin Tian say, "I'll give you one final chance. If you can't present a gift that matches your cultivation, then your cultivation will stay here just like Chu Lingfeng's did!"

Hiss!

As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, Zhao Liehu's expression changed instantly!

The disciples and elders of the Qilin Mountain Sect, who were earlier unsure of what Qin Tian was planning to do, finally felt relieved upon hearing his words. This was more like it; this is our Sect Leader.

However, Zhao Liehu's face went from changing color to becoming stiff.

Exchanging a gift for his entire cultivation!

And only one chance!

This... what kind of gift could possibly be exchanged for his entire cultivation?

Zhao Liehu took a deep breath, contemplating the most valuable items in his Storage Bag.

After a while, he steeled his heart, feeling a painful regret, and gritted his teeth, "Sect Leader Qin, in my Storage Bag and on me, the most valuable and useful things, I believe, are these two items. If you think these two items can't exchange for my cultivation, then I, Zhao Liehu, have nothing more to say. If you want my life, I accept my fate!"

As he spoke, Zhao Liehu pulled out a piece of Jade and a golden short Dagger from himself.

"This is a Cold Ice Jade Toad, an antidote Divine Artifact, said to cure countless strange poisons in the world. I obtained it from a medicine merchant and have been reluctant to use it. It's said it can only be used once and is priceless. I give it to you."

Zhao Liehu spoke with a face full of painful regret, as this was indeed one of his most treasured possessions.

The other item he cherished was a Magic Artifact named Meteor Shower.

"This is Meteor Shower, a Second Grade High Stage Magic Artifact. Don't be deceived by its appearance as a small Dagger; when used properly, it can scatter countless branches when thrown, each capable of killing. It is rumored to emit a maximum of eighty-one flying knife branches, including its main body."

By the time Zhao Liehu finished speaking, Qin Tian's eyes had noticeably lit up.

Not to mention, a Second Grade High Stage Magic Artifact!

Artifacts of this level, Qin Tian had only heard of in ancient texts, never seen in reality!

Moreover, it sounds like when fully unleashed, this Meteor Shower could have a mind-blowingly cool effect, especially in group battles.

Qin Tian curiously asked, "And what about you, how many flying knives can you emit?"

This question brought some embarrassment.

Zhao Liehu touched his nose self-consciously and said, "I can only emit... ahem, uh, two flying knives."

"Hehe, not bad."

Qin Tian chuckled softly, "praising" as he spoke, witnessing Zhao Leihu wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

"Alright, today is a joyous day for me, not a day for harshness. I'll accept these two gifts from you."

As Qin Tian finished speaking, with a sweep of his hand, a gust of wind whooshed by, and the items in Zhao Liehu's hands flew instantly into Qin Tian's grasp.

Zhao Liehu was filled with reluctance, but there was nothing he could do.

These two items weren't acquired by proper means; they were treasures of a wealthy family, obtained by murdering and looting with a group of people.

He hadn't even had the chance to use them, and now they were all in Qin Tian's hands!

Under the eaves, one had no choice but to lower their head. Zhao Liehu resigned himself to it, seeing Qin Tian taking the items. He painfully uttered a "Congratulations," then left with his companions, including Chu Lingfeng, as if they were turtles hiding their heads.

...

On the wedding night, naturally, Qin Tian spent the intimate time lovingly with his virtuous bride, Qiao Wenxuan.

To Qin Tian, Qiao Wenxuan was indeed the first woman, more accurately the first person, he encountered in the Spiritual Domain World, met under an awkward atmosphere.

Yet, he never imagined this woman would become his two years later.

Wenxuan was virtuous, gentle, and understanding of the bigger picture. In the days following the wedding, she took such good care of Qin Tian that he didn't want to leave the house at all.

However, when Qin Tian took out the Jade Toad that day, he recalled Zhao Liehu's words back then, saying the Jade Toad could cure countless strange poisons in the world.

If that's the case, then can the poison in Qiao Zheng's body be cured?

Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind. After all, the Jade Toad can only be used once, which meant no one had used it before.

If so, whether it can work or not is to be determined.

Qin Tian conveyed his thoughts to Qiao Wenxuan. She gently tapped his back and said, "Many things in the Spiritual Domain are exaggerated; whether the Jade Toad can cure strange poisons is uncertain."

Qin Tian said, "At the very least, we can give it a try, right?"

"That makes sense. If it can indeed be effective, then my father's lifelong heartache will be resolved..." said Wenxuan.

The next day, Qin Tian, holding the Jade Toad, went directly to Qiao Zheng's room to explain his purpose.

Qiao Zheng didn't refuse. Looking at the Jade Toad in Qin Tian's hand, he said, "This thing from Zhao Liehu, whether it can detoxify is hard to say. The key is, how to use this Jade Toad for detoxification, there's no usage method."

Qin Tian said, "No matter what, Master, let's try it first, try all detox methods we can think of. What's the most commonly used detoxification method?"

Qiao Zheng was taken aback and said, "Of course, it's direct consumption."

With this statement, both of them were stunned.

"Master, are you being serious?" Qin Tian looked puzzled.

Qiao Zheng had a serious expression too, "Do you really think I'd detox by swallowing the Jade Toad? It's a Jade Toad, and I'm just old bones..."

Since Qiao Wenxuan married Qin Tian, Qiao Zheng's personality had greatly improved, and he had become much more talkative, so even now he spoke with a sense of humor.

"Then let's try other methods. I think the most common method for this kind of Jade artifact detoxification is still using True Qi infusion. Master, you come, infuse your True Qi into the Jade Toad and see if there's any reaction."

After Qin Tian's suggestion, Qiao Zheng followed his words, placing a palm on the surface of the Jade Toad, with True Qi constantly flowing out…

"Hiss!"

In less than three seconds, Qiao Zheng quickly retracted his hand, gritting his teeth: "Inside the Jade Toad, there is a repelling force. With my True Qi, I can't get in!"

"Let me help you."

Qin Tian finished speaking, exchanged a glance with Qiao Zheng, and the two of them simultaneously placed their hands on the Jade Toad, infusing True Qi into it once again!
